Abstract
The two volume set LNCS 4291 and LNCS 4292 constitutes the refereed proceedings
of the Second International Symposium on Visual Computing, ISVC 2006, held in
Lake Tahoe, NV, USA in November 2006.
The 65 revised full papers and 56 poster papers presented together with 57
papers of ten special tracks were carefully reviewed and selected from more
than 280 submissions. The papers cover the four main areas of visual computing:
vision, graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. The following topical
sections are addressed: segmentation, tracking, and recognition, virtual
reality, rendering, visualization, biomedical image analysis, visual computing
and biological vision, understanding and imitating nature: analysis,
interpretation, rendering and inspiration of biological forms, multimodal data
understanding and visualization for industrial applications, intelligent
environments: algorithms and applications, calibration, stereo, and
reconstruction, computer graphics, discrete and computational geometry and
their applications in visual computing, illumination, color, and texture,
energy minimization approaches in image processing and computer vision, soft
computing in image processing and computer vision, 4D medical data modeling,
visualization and measurement, pattern analysis and recognition applications in
biometrics, computer vision and applications.
